Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 4 cups cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is convenient)
- 1 (14-ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (11.4-ounce) box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (including seasoning packet)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (for an optional cheese layer)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to create a flavorful base.
- Layer Ingredients: Spread the cooked chicken over the melted butter, then top evenly with the frozen mixed vegetables.
- Make Biscuit Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (including the seasoning packet) and milk until mostly smooth, allowing a few small lumps.
- Add Creamy Sauce: Pour the biscuit mixture over the vegetables layer. Then, in the same bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup, and pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit layer.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the center is nearly set but still slightly loose. Avoid overbaking to maintain the gravy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken makes preparation easier and adds great flavor.
- Optional seasonings like garlic powder and dried thyme can enhance the dish’s flavor.
- Adding a grated cheddar cheese layer before baking adds richness and a cheesy crust.
- Do not overbake; the cobbler should be slightly loose in the center for the best texture and gravy.
- This recipe is versatile—feel free to use fresh vegetables instead of frozen if preferred.
